Is he on heart meds? Something in my memory says he is. Or was at one point. Anyway, while I was pondering how it must feel to him to suddenly be 150g lighter - which is equivalent to a reasonably full backpack, I'd think - I wondered if keeping his hair shortish might be better for his heart cos he's carrying less weight around.

He is on heart meds. But he doesn't move enough that I'd think it's BETTER for him. In fact I'd think the extra fluff is just about the kind of weight a doctor would think he should lift. But who knows... either way I'm sure he notices the difference!

It might be projection again, but I can't bring myself to cut it when it's chilly. I cut it this week right after we turned on the a/c. The dogs have fared similarly. When I look at an animal and feel hot on their behalf, it's time for a haircut. :)
